Hello,

I was trying to start the compact potato disks to install debian from
the net on a Compaq Armada E500. The ethernet adapter is installed in
the pcmcia slot. From the documentation I understand I should be able
to use the pcmcia using only the "rescue" and "root" disk images of
the compact disk set. After succesfully mounting the swap and root
partitions I try to activate the pcmcia via "Configuring PCMCIA support",
select i82365 without arguments (which works under my previous RedHat
setup) and am greeted with a "An error encountered while trying etc."
message.

Anybody tried this too? Do I need some other boot image?

Bye,
Edwin

Originally when I installed Debian, I used a fixed IP address. How do
I set up things so it uses DHCP instead?

On the client side, install 'dhcp-client' or 'pump'.

Hth,
